EMERGING DESIGNER

Alicia Sanchez

Embracing her Dominican heritage, Alicia incorporates many vibrant colors and unique designs into her new line. Alicia has lived in many places and expresses it through her cultural experiences and her Latin roots, which can all be seen in each piece. Her designs are basic with the focus on the fabrics with bright colors; they might not represent fashion trends but when someone wears Favala they’re left feeling passionate and unique.

Each Favala piece is hand-stitched and not manufactured. This ensures the perfect fit and right look. It makes each piece a Favala original-meaning hardly any duplicates-and the chance to be set apart from the rest of the crowd! Alicia believes that everyone should be able to rock his or her own look without spending a fortune. The Favala designs include accessories as well and they will top off any look!

Alicia is not your ordinary designer as this designer doesn’t design by the book, but rather by her own ideas and she is guided by her passion. She designs for those who want to 'keep it real' and for those that do not let the trends dictate their style.

Hitting the runway at Washington D.C. Fashion Week Favala; showcased the unique, colorful, and 'full of energy' designs. There’s no stopping this collection, as this is only the beginning! "My passion is creating artwork for people to wear, through their own personal identity. It doesn’t have to be in style as long as it looks good. That's why my motto is 'Its all about FAVALA'."

Favala is also sold at Hillary Flowers Collective in New York City...Everyone should have a little bit of Favala in their lives!

Alicia Sanchez on Fashion

If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?
Charity Shops,( a.k.a thrift stores) I love vintage.
If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?
I wouldn’t change anything but I would definitely add 50’s style tom boy shorts.
Survival of the fittest: What is one item in your closet that you will never get rid of?
Everyone says the little black dress, but I disagree I would say my denim jeans. Fits perfect with anything!
If you were given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp your entire wardrobe, who would you choose?
Oscar de la Renta – I love HIM!! I have the funk twist and he brings the elegance with the same color palettes that I love and he still sketches each piece he designs. He’s a REAL designer.
Name an actor/singer/celebrity whose wardrobe you admire the most.
Okay I have a few this is just some of my favorites...Audrey Hepburn, Gwen Stefani, Pink and Rhianna.
What are your best and worst fashion purchases?
Best – Leopard Ankle boots Worst- A&F shorts . My booty is way to big for those shorts. They need to make shorts for the 'sistas'!
Who makes your favorite pair of jeans? Shoes? Dress or Suit?
Dress: Carolina Herrrera , She can make any floral dress look hot for all ages !
If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?
Not ordinary AT ALL! Color galore and not afraid to show a little skin.
If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?
WOW! 1920’s all of it! Corsets, long dresses, umbrellas as an accessory.
What was the first thing you designed or made?
WOW.. lets go back to memory lane. I would have to say pajama pant that was made out of new kids on the block fabric . The stitching was so bad that the crotch was at my knees. But I was proud that I finished something and still wore my pants.
If we could take a peek into your personal closet, what would we find?
COLOR !!!! Very rare that you would see black and plain colors…
